[PATCH] kbuild: take vmlinux.[ao] out of single-targets

From: Wei Yang
Date: Sun Jan 14 2024 - 19:17:16 EST


For current kernel, when we make vmlinux.a or vmlinux.o, following
message would display.

$make vmlinux.o
/dir/to/kernel/Makefile:1887: warning: overriding recipe for target 'vmlinux.o'
/dir/to/kernel/Makefile:1138: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 'vmlinux.o'
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'vmlinux.o'.

The reason is vmlinux.[ao] is treated as single target, while the rule
is written in root Makefile.

This patch fixes this by take them out of single-targets.
